Hey All

I am wondering what to do....
I plan on upgrading my card and not sure what to get.
I would like to stay with Nvidia chipset.

I currently have GTX580 Classified Ultra and GTX460 on my rig.
I am running a two monitors with it. I running a 27' Asus 1080p monitor as auxiliary and running AOC 29' as a main.

I was wondering if waiting for Maxwell chipset (since it suppose to come out in 1st qtr of 2014) or pull the trigger on GTX780 TI.
 
I have a gtx 580 right now, for 1080p gaming i wouldnt be that tempted to upgrade... of course i wont even game on it, because its to busy getting 264kh mining :-P 780ti is pretty boss, id wait for a really good deal or maxwell benchmarks to make a choice though. (unless for some reason your 580 is holding you back)
 
Believe it or not GTX580 Classified can handle BF4 very well. I am running everything on high with somewhat respectable frame rate. I am only tempted since I have about $800 to blow. The only thing that is preventing me from jumping on 780 ti is that, I have no idea how much the Maxwell chip will out preform the 780 ti.

of course with the SSD price coming I am tempted with that as well.

I'm encouraging people to wait at this moment in time unless they really need it. As far as the 780ti goes, wait for a bit for some better deals. It is a more powerful card, but I highly doubt you will see a "huge" difference unless you are benchmarking. And for the price of $200-300 difference, IMHO not worth the buy it now.

I've been tempted with ssd as well. But am waiting on those to drop even more. Sea gate has a hybrid ssd/hdd that may change the game a bit.
